For those of you that don’t know yet, I decided to eliminate the use of any animal products in my life. So my recent dilemma has been this: what in the world do I do with all the leather I have in my wardrobe? I think that throwing away each piece would just be counterproductive and wasteful. I do, however, feel that walking around with a leather bag in tow while claiming to live a ‘kind’ life feels very hypocritical.

After much consideration, I have decided that I want to recycle each piece. I want to sell each bag and donate 100% of the proceeds to a wonderful organization, The Gentle Barn. The Gentle Barn’s mission is this: ‘To rescue, rehabilitate and give sanctuary to abused animals. Through the interaction with our animals people learn reverence for all life’. TGB is located in California and houses over 130 rescued farm animals that were abused, neglected or ready to be slaughtered.

Each bag is used, but loved none the less. If you are interested in purchasing one, please email me at Laura.anne.hebden@gmail.com. I plan to ship for free, all I ask is that I receive a check made out to THE GENTLE BARN for the selling price and an address you would like me to ship it too! If you have any questions, please feel free to e-mail me as well!

These make wonderful gifts as well:)
